Trial: Annual

Years Trialed: 1998

Good Qualities

Dried well (2); Different & beautiful (2); The heads look woven or braided in appearance; Much customer approval; An excellent grass; Grew vigorously from seed in the field with no irrigation; Seed head was great – either picked young & green or older & more developed; Nice accent in bouquets; Nice green color (even when dried); Great with late summer bouquets; Excellent germination; Good strong growth

Problems

Some of the stems fell over; Does not like dry conditions, no germination whatsoever. High temps this season, or late sowing could be part of the problem – I was amazed we go nothing.

Comments

We also grew the smaller wild foxtail millet. Cramer’s came in a little earlier; Not impressive flower spike, stayed short, 2 feet, heavy seed set, could be a one time sales item; Cramer’s products are generally very good germination rate & great production – this was way disappointing!; I loved this guy. Great with sunflowers & Helenium. I tried planting both direct & as transplants & had good luck both ways. Birds love them when they have gone by; Surprised that it headed out here at Olds AB; Grew like a weed, but I couldn’t give them away.
